Description:
Munich, Germany: Wilhelm Fink Verlag, 2006. This scholarly edition of Dr. John Arbuthnot's Correspondence is the first complete collection of all his extant letters, editied and fully annotated according to historicist principles. As letter-writer, Arbuthnot takes an equal place with other Scriblerians, the earliest group of writers in English that exchanged letters as part of their imaginative projects. The taste of the group for satire on unwieldly learning, solemn nonsense, careless or vainglorious reading and criticism adds to Arbuthnot's famous urbane humanity. The collection is opened by a biographical introduction and concludes with a dissertation examining letters in groups and considering their general characteristics. 547 pgs. Illustrated. Minimal shelfwear.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
